the gun. Okay. Let's take a look at the note here. If someone jumps the gun he or

she begins something too soon or too quickly before proper preparations or

before a suitable time. Okay. Let's continue. The origin of this phrase is

derived directly from track and field races. As everyone sees in official races

you know, like in the Olympics, one must shoot off a gun to let the runners know

the moment or that second they can start running. So usually there's a shot and

then the runners start to go. If a runner tries to start before the shot he or she

has jumped the gun. So that's where the phrase actually comes from. So because

they shoot off the gun to let the runners know. Officially this is not

allowed, and it is referred to as a false start. So if a runner is caught leaving

too soon you know a second or two seconds too early then they may have to

do the race over again or start it over again. Or he may be penalized for it.

All right. Let's continue. Let's look at the examples here. Example number one. Don't

jump the gun. We need to wait for the approval of the boss before we can begin

this project. Okay or number two here. You have only been dating Jane for three

months. If you propose to her already, you may scare her off. Yeah. Maybe she's not

ready for this. They've only known each other a short time. Don't jump the

gun. She's not ready to commit. So this is how we use it a lot. We tell somebody

don't do this too soon. Don't do it too early and you should let the

relationship have time to develop deeper or in a natural way. So we often tell

somebody, don't jump the gun, you know this is too early. This is

too soon. Wait give it more time. Okay anyway, I hope you got it. I hope it's

clear. Thank you for your time. Bye-bye.
